After trying poke for the first time while traveling in Hawaii this summer, I was determined to come up with a simple, macro-friendly method that anyone could make and enjoy at home! For those who have never heard of poke, it is a traditional Hawaiian dish of Ahi Tuna sashimi marinated and prepared in various ways. It has become extremely popular within the last year, so now you can make your own and have a poke bowl party!

*IMPORTANT NOTE
It is EXTREMELY important that you specifically buy sushi grade ahi tuna. You CANNOT go to a local grocery store and buy tuna out of the fish display due to cross-contamination. I bought mine from whole foods and asked specifically for sushi grade Ahi, which they keep separate from the display.
